Itasca Educational Programs

Itasca has long believed in the synergy between the classroom and the office. Itasca began on the campus of the University of Minnesota, and wishes to continue to broaden this tradition of support and collaboration with colleges and universities around the world. Itasca understands students and educators' need for state-of-the-art tools and the urgency to train engineers to solve challenging problems earth-resource engineering will bring in the 21st century. It is one of Itasca's core goals to help foster the future generations of geotechnical and geomechanical engineers.

Itasca has introduced three programs that will put these software tools into the hands of students, researchers and lecturers, so they may tackle and resolve world-class engineering problems. These programs are the Itasca Teaching Partnership, the Itasca Educational Partnership and the Itasca Educational Discount Program.

Itasca Teaching Partnership

The Itasca Teaching Partnership (ITP) provides university educators with access to Itasca software to use as teaching tools in their class. By bringing real-world tools into the classroom, students can better understand how numerical modeling is performed. This program is intended for university instructors who must apply for the program, and sign an agreement outlining acceptable use of the software. The software loan is limited to the duration of the course, which typically is one semester, and applications are reviewed twice each year.

Itasca Education Partnership

The Itasca Education Partnership (IEP) is intended for graduate students. The student must apply for the program and acceptance is limited. The program includes mentorship, training and software loan options. Applications are reviewed twice a year.

Itasca Educational Discount Program

The Educational Discount Program is for the purchase of our software by educational institutes. This discount is offered to all educational institutes, if the software is to be used for only teaching and/or research purposes. An agreement must be signed in order to receive the discount.
